"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
What a fvcking shame

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Wow, this should make it to the list of required reading. Even if it's just a picture. Young guys rarely realise how bad women can age. This is just too awful!

Dear Burroughs,
C'mon Mate,a night with her and a green apple would finish you off LOL!

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Hey now! She might could get a role in some sort of lowly porno.

Even in her good pics, she looks like a big girl...look at those massive thighs. Women of her type always become fat as they age.
I lol'd. The other night I went out with a few friends from my alma mater, all of whom are feminists and blue pill recipients (I was too when I was with them in school). We got on the topic of "people who blew up and got fat". I mentioned the importance of women staying in shape post marriage and got a chorus of "Oh wow, how shallow. It's what's on the INSIDE that counts. Wow, what happened to you?!?!Greasy Pig said:
I just replied, "Fat women just aren't attractive to me, I can't help it". The looks on their faces were priceless. It was awesome.
she's not old yet, she got FAT, and when/if she loses the fat, there will be wrinkles. I've had quite a few women in their 40;s, a few in their 50;s who were still perfectly lovely. But they kept themselves fit all their lives. that fat, dudes, that's an insult to their men.
There's something very wrong about the way women get fat these days. Now their getting fat alone is a criminal offence against humanity, but they also become masculine too. They seem to gain fat in places where a fat bloke would, and their faces start to look like The Rock's.zekko said:
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I'd like to vote this thread as the single best I have seen on SS.
The educational benefit of these pics, for a guy with self respect, is priceless.

Worst case of Too-Hotness disease I've seen in a long time. What is TH disease you ask? It's a disease that infects women that are too hot to have any motivation to workout or eat right. Too-Hotness disease usually progresses slowly with the woman at first just putting on a few pounds and because she's still attractive to most guys, does nothing about it. The diseased will keep their ego safe and keep denying their symptoms until it is too late.
If you know someone who suffers from Too-Hotness disease, do not feed their ego. In fact do not feed them anything and tell them to get their fat a$$ through a gym door.

Good job. That deserves a rep if I've ever seen it.origin138 said:
"Inside that counts" Pffft, how the hell are you meant to get to the inside if you can't even make it past the outside. Lefty feel good logic always makes me scratch my head, you should have said. "I'm glad you said that because there's a homeless guy I've made friends with, a few missing teeth and a gammy leg but he really does have a heart of gold, you willing to give it a shot?"

I've done that too, and received the same reaction. It's alright to have a fat wife as long as it is someone else's and not yours.
It's like telling your friend it's perfectly fine and dandy to drive his beat up 1986 Corolla while you have a new Lexus. After all, it just gets you from point A to point B, right? LOL
People seldom embrace the truth.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
